In this study, a power injection-based algorithm is developed to simulate the power flows for each location and size of DER in the radial network. This paper presents two methodologies developed in MATLAB using Matpower to determine the optimal location and size of DER. The first methodology is based on a nested decision-making algorithm, the hierarchical method (HM). The second is the weighting method (WM), which has the multi-objective of keeping voltage magnitudes as close to one per unit as possible to provide reliable operation and minimize total system losses. A case study is conducted on the IEEE 33-bus system to demonstrate the effectiveness of each methodology in achieving optimal DER location and sizing. The results indicate that both methodologies have strengths and weaknesses depending on the specific power system scenarios.","PeriodicalId":288300,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132995164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To facilitate passive beamforming, channel state information (CSI) needs to be available at the Base Station so that the optimum reflection pattern can be calculated. Therefore, the objective of this research is to present a Deep Learning (DL) based approach to improve the accuracy of the channel estimation in an IRS aided Multiple Input Single Output - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MISO-OFDM) wireless network. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that treats OFDM frames as images is adapted for IRS and applied to the direct and cascaded channels. The CNN presented in the study is trained with channel coefficients obtained by Least Squares (LS) method and Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) as the reflection pattern at the IRS. The results show that the CNN improves channel estimation efficiency by reducing the effects of noise and improving the Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE) parameters.","PeriodicalId":288300,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134623040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This increment leads to the lack of inertia and insufficient damping which pose a significant threat for frequency stability and dynamic performance of load frequency control (LFC) systems. Various methods have been employed to overcome this drawback. One of these is the utilization of electric vehicles (EVs) for frequency regulation. Furthermore, in practice, systems do not always operate under identical conditions. Therefore, parametric uncertainties should be considered in controller design. This paper applies Kharitonov’s theorem and stability boundary locus method to determine a set proportional-integral (PI) controller gains defined as a robust stability region that ensures the stability of the time-delayed LFC system with EV aggregator having uncertainties in system parameters. The impacts of the level of uncertainties and time delay on the robust stability region are investigated.
